Close to what happened! The magazine graphic (https://twitter.com/adamrpearce/status/697844614754123776) was finished before I started on the web version, and I just had a couple of days to make something that could go online. I initially tried a more sort of 538/scatterplot/analysis approach, but wasn't making a ton of progress. I started just sketching out different ways of putting all 500 jobs on the screen at once. The grid of jobs with lines showing up on mouseover was the most fun to play with and being pushed to finish before valentines day, I went with it.

Sorry it was hard to use!

I thought it was creative, entertaining and different than the usual boring charts. It's not perfect but I still liked it!

I think it's really cool. Saved for later to pick apart the d3 code.
